#JuneSpecials Day 2: This book features the village of Tos, in the remote hills of the Cameroons. In the introduction of the author, she described it as “isolated, with no paved roads closer to it than a full eight hours away. None but the most adventurous visitor would dare risk the steep and bumpy, rocky clay paths leading to the thatch-roofed village that clings to the side of an almost extinct volcano.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-Ut

Such a great TL by Ann Grifalconi! This book was passed down by word of mouth in the village of Tos where Grifalconi heard this story told to her. In addition this book did receive the Caldecott honor! Stated in the jacket of the book, "Ann Grifalconi's bold dynamic art and get rhythmic storytelling make this a perfect book for reading aloud". This will definitely be used as a RA in my classroom.
